sTIIKING REsrMDLANCEs OF "IN THE FAsU1oN'-


STRIKING REsrMpLANCEs OF "IH THE FASHION,
TO FRFNCH PLAY.
There has been an attempt tho part Of an Eng
lsh playwright, William Ysrdley, to claim share
In the authorship OF the play, In the Fashion, pro
duced at Wallacks on Wednesday night. The man
who Is most entitled TO have his on the bills
has not hoNcver been heard from, the reason probab
Is being that he has been dead for long time and
theatrical ghosts may talk the spirits Of departed
dramai SIS do not, fortunately for many living play
wrights, possess the power of speech
Eugene scribe OF the cleverest OF French drama
lists, and the inventor of the modern style of comedy
which sarrdou has carried to it's greatest perfection,
Is the author TO whom Nine. DOlaro should moi have
scruped to give the credit of having written the org
nal Of her play. Dix ans dc la vic dune femlAc'
{" Ten Years of Woman's Life7) Is the title of
bcribes piece, which he wrote in conjunction with
NJ. Terrier and produced In Paris at the Porte Saint
Martin on March II, 1882. In MS play there are
five acts and nine tabeaux and the cast called for
twenty oAc people. Nine. DOaio has reduced her
play TO i've scenes, and her Characters number only
twelve. Sic has changed The names bur in some
has left trace Of the original, scribo's
wicked woman, "Amclie Iaierr.cr,n booming Ad
eiaids LApic4.c." The changes made In the plot
have been many, and are all in the direction Of sub
